<p>+Essays:
Should be pretty good -- Common App essay's on how we shouldn't assume we know everything about everybody, and how learning this has made a difference in my life. </p>

<p>+Recommendations:
One will be excellent -- teacher taught me AP Gov and APUSH, I was one of his favorite students. The other will probably be generic, though pretty good -- from my freshman math teacher, had a 105 in there, helped other students, and was always polite. Counselor recommendation will be so so -- my brag sheet looked pretty nice, but at my school you just don't know your counselors. </p>
